just got my new D3 installed and everything works great, but i found that when i was using the navigation feature the voice guidance was not working nor were the beeps when you press the buttons. i checked the volume on the beeps and voice guidance and they are all turned up and the voice guidance is on. what happens is, i am driving along listening to my ipod or radio and when i come to a turn where it should give me directions, the music mutes and i hear nothing and then the music comes back on. I do have amps and all aftermarket speakers. any help would be appreciated.

something is wired wrong, the guidance does not really mute the audio, it just comes over the left front speaker. did you have the bypass done?

yes i had the bypass done

does it work, because it sounds like you have a muting issue

yea the bypass works fine. i thought it might be a muting issue but i found the setting under the initial tab and it was on normal and not mute or att

im pretty sure the bypass was succesful because i can watch video and have full function of the navi menu when driving. its just this audio issue with the navigation voice and the beeps that has me stumped

hmmm... I'm having a similar issue. No voice prompts, but when I get to my destination, it does say, 'you have arrived.' Really helpful, right!

This is so serious, I'm actually reading the manual and calling tech. support. No luck from either of them. If I do find something, I'll post it here.

Good luck.

well guys i figured out what was goin on with my D3. i was really hoping it wasnt a problem with the unit itself and luckily it was just a crossed pre out for my amp that runs the highs and mid speakers. basically they hooked up the front rca cables to the rear pre out and the rear rcas to the front pre out. i was scratchin my head earlier tonight and i was going to bring it back to circuit city tomm. to get it fixed. we were gonna put a new D3 in and everything, even though mine is only 3 days old, lol. so luckily i can save myself some trouble now. so anyway i just went out to the car, pulled the unit out to check the connections for the bypass and everything looked fine so i was going to just put it in and call it a night and i said, what the heck, ill just check the preout just to be sure, so i swapped them out and voila!
